Football PAT

The PAT takes place on the 15 yard line (the one closer to the opposing team's end zone). It is an untimed scrimmage down, also called the try, where a team can kick the ball into the goal post for one point or run it into the end zone for two points.

However, the decision to go for the extra point or the two point conversion is an important one, and it can be more dangerous and challenging to opt for the conversion. Instead of one person, like the kicker, being responsible for the point, the two point conversion is a whole team effort. It is another play and requires a valiant effort being so close to the end zone. It can be the deciding factor for any game.

The two point conversion can be very challenging, as the offensive team and defensive team are very close to the end zone. This means that the ball and players can be jammed up in seconds. That is why, oftentimes, if the score isn't neck and neck, teams opt for the extra point, as it's a more comfortable and secure option, especially if the team has a great kicker!
